Quotes About Oxidation

Coconut oil, being a highly saturated fat, is the least vulnerable of all the dietary oils to oxidation and free-radical formation and therefore is the safest to use in cooking.

We're all dying. We're all in the process of oxidizing. Everyone of us is in the process of oxidizing, so to sort of interrupt one aspect of that while everything else goes on, it's a freak show.

So I set out to study the oxidation system in the potato, which, if damaged, causes the plant to turn brown. I did this in the hope of discovering, through these studies, the key to the understanding of adrenal function.

This oxidation of hydrogen in stages seems to be one of the basic principles of biological oxidation.

When a molecule of vitamin C encounters a free radical, it becomes oxidised and thereby renders the free radical innocuous. The oxidised vitamin C then gets restored to its non-oxidised state by an enzyme called vitamin C reductase. It is like a boxer who goes into the ring, takes a hit to his jaw, goes to his corner to recover, and then does it all over again.

Komik olabilir ama en trajik yang?n bile asl?nda süregelen kimyasal bir tepkimedir. Jan Dark'?n oksidasyonudur.

passivates" the surface, that is, makes it less reactive to oxygen.

La leche que contiene grasa oxidada entonces se pasteuriza a altas temperaturas, superiores a los 100 ºC. Las enzimas son sensibles al calor y comienzan a destruirse a los 93 ºC. Es decir, la leche que se vende en las tiendas no sólo carece de las preciadas enzimas, sino que la grasa está oxidada y la calidad de las proteínas cambia debido a las altas temperaturas. En cierto sentido, la leche es el peor tipo de alimento.

Catalytic oxidation in living substances rests upon change of valency in an iron compound which is the respiratory oxygen-transferring ferment.

We can employ bleach, for example, to strip electrons from molecules. Electrons are more than just the glue that holds molecules together — they are also responsible for color. By stripping molecules of electrons, or "oxidizing" them, we can therefore eliminate stains.

season our cast iron cookware to keep it from rusting and to prevent food from sticking to it. To do this, coat the pan with a thin layer of oil and then heat it. The oil will react with oxygen to form a tough, smooth, impervious layer.

Acidity (sour) turns down oxidation (heat) in the cells, but in large amounts it causes oxidation or burning

You can tell whether a food is rich in antioxidants by slicing it open, exposing it to air (oxygen), and then seeing what happens. If it turns brown, it's oxidizing. Think about our two most popular fruits: apples and bananas. They turn brown quickly, which means there aren't a lot of antioxidants inside them.

The dietary cholesterol found in eggs, meat, and dairy can become oxidized and then set off a chain reaction that results in excess fat in the liver.31 When the concentration of cholesterol in your liver cells gets too high, it can crystallize like a stick of rock and result in inflammation. This process is similar to the way uric acid crystals cause gout
